SONG 1:She's like the Wind Singer(s): Lumidee and Tony Sunshine Genre: R&B Lyrics:http://www.onlylyrics.com/song.php?id=1004515 Year Released:2007 Summary: The song is about a boy who likes this girl but is too shy and nervous to ask her out. The girl, on the other hand hears that he likes her and decides that she likes him too. The call and response of this song is a perfect example of how this song relates to African music. it was used to entertain the children and tell stories or history as it it used today and in this song. unlike today the people who sing tales are not called griots and are catagorized into sections like rap or country by the rhythm and tempo of their beats and songs. "Song From 1974 or Earlier"
SONG 3: Sanctuary Singer(s): Nami Tamaki Genre: Japanese Pop Lyrics: http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/tamanami/speciality/sanctuary.html Year Released: 2006 Summary: This song is about a girl who's future is uncertain but if everyone pulls together that things will get better and that nothing is impossible. It tells a story which was used in Africa to pass down history and other stories as well as to entertain people. The stories were sung form the mouths of people called griots (as i had mentioned before) and nowadays they do not sing of history but rather their feelings and problems.
